Print Line:

The print line in the spool entry to search.

Position:

The column interval to search

Oper.

The operator relating to the compare value.

 

The operators used are standard Query operators.

 

EQ

Equal to compare value

 

NE

Not equal to compare value

 

LT

Less than compare value

 

LE

Less than or equal to compare value

 

GT

Greater than compare value

 

GE

Compare value:

The character string (case sensitive) or numeric value which the

 

operator should compare with. The comparison is in reality done

on hexadecimal values. This means that eg. the figure “1" which has EBCDIC value F1h is greater than the character “Z” which has EBCDIC value E9h.

Example 1, Level Break on Page Counter

The page selection criteria will primarily be used when the spool data contains numbered recipient pages, eg. runs of invoices where each new invoice in the spool entry indicates “page1".

By displaying the test spool entry we find a page count in Line 3 column 72.

Re. Your new MateSert/400 driver.

By stating the following information for the page selection criteria, we make a level break every time the page count is reset to 1.
